What is New York Estate Planning?

Often people believe that the term “estate planning” refers to managing the affairs of the wealthy. However, estate planning is really just the process of obtaining certain legal documents to be sure that your assets and property are distributed directly to heirs and beneficiaries upon your passing and to protect yourself if you become incompetent or ill and can’t direct your own care or finances. Estate planning is crucial for peace of mind because it allows you to minimize disputes between your beneficiaries, minimize applicable taxes for your heirs, and choose the right people to help you make financial and medical decisions when you can’t.

While everyone’s estate planning needs differ, estate planning can help families prepare for both the present and the future through the use of basic documents such as Last Wills and Testaments, powers of attorney, living wills, and health care proxies, as well as more advanced documents such as irrevocable and revocable trusts. Our estate planning and elder law attorneys, located in Islandia, Suffolk County, near Smithtown and Hauppauge, will listen to your individual estate planning goals and devise a plan based on your unique situation. Be sure to click on our “Practice Areas” menu to get a more detailed description of each of those benefits and documents.

What is Elder Law & Medicaid Planning?

Are you currently a caregiver? If yes, you know how much time and energy goes into caring for a sick or disabled person. The attorneys at our elder law firm located in Islandia, Suffolk County, near Smithtown and Hauppauge, understand and follow a set of laws to help seniors who are sick or disabled obtain long-term care services at home or in a nursing home.

What is Probate & Estate Administration?

Rebounding after losing someone you love is one of the hardest things to endure. Healing can be even more difficult when heirs and next of kin are called upon to seek legal authority to collect a loved one’s assets, pay valid debts, and make distributions to beneficiaries. Our firm can advise and guide an executor or administrator of an estate in their duties as a fiduciary of the decedent’s estate.

James W. Takacs

After attending a presentation in 2015 given by Craig and Christine Andreoli at a “Prime Timers” church group on the subject of Elder Law, my husband & I decided we needed to get our important documents in order. We met in their law office and they helped draw up Last Will and Testaments, Powers of Attorney, Living Wills, and Health Care Proxies for each of us, thus ensuring peace of mind and clear direction for the future when one or the other of us becomes incapacitated or deceased. In 2021, my husband passed and both Craig and Christine were invaluable supports, helping me and my sons navigate the necessary filings, forms, Estate documentations and establishment of a Trust for my home. Throughout this difficult time, they were unceasingly patient, knowledgeable and responsive to any and all questions or concerns. I highly recommend them for their professionalism and compassion.
